Mr. Meat has great taste in theme songs! I used to love that tuneful old jingle for Dominion grocery stores. Sadly, John, much has changed here in your home country since those glorious days gone by...

Reminds me of time while working at Allied Visual Artists, a neighboring studio rep came to us asking us if we could digitally paint "meat" textures. That studio was on Gower and Melrose, and may have been an early version of Spumco.

Would HE HOG be a good place for Mr. Meat to make a cameo or supporting role?

Meanwhile, what do folks here think of THE ADVENTURES OF TIN TIN? Rather than a 2D comic, previews show a more realistic version of a Pixar-class adventure tale. Still, the preview left me cold (another CGI tour de force with more rendering, more complexity, same glitches, same somewhat sterile feel). Am I wrong here?

I don't like the visual style of Tin Tin, never realy was intrested in the comics eather. Tough i like the graphical style of Hergé at times.But the whole visal style of the Tin Tin movie somehow discust me and its keeping me from watching the damn thing.

Also John, I remember in your speech at Bristol about how you called Sponge Bob conservative, but that's really the network's fault and not the cartoonists. Take a look at some of these great roughs by Robert Ryan Cory:
